please. >> katherine, i want to point out when governor romney's campaign was asked about the lilly ledbetter bill, whether he supported it, he said i'll get back to you. and that's not the kind of advocacy that women need in any economy. now, there's some other issues that have a bearing on how women succeed in the workplace. for example, their health care. you know, a major difference in this campaign is that governor romney feels comfortable having politicians in washington decide the health care choices that women are making. i think that's a mistake. in my health care bill, i said insurance companies need to provide contraceptive coverage to everybody who is insured because this is not just a health issue, it's an economic issue for women. it makes a difference. this is money out of that family's pocket. governor romney not only opposed it, he suggested that, in fact, employers should be able to make the decision as to whether or not a woman gets contraception through her insurance coverage. that's not the kind of advocacy that women need. when governor romney says that we should elimina

president obama, his first signature act as president, signed the lilly ledbetter parity act. they targeted the women on health care, on reproductive rights. this was a larger coalition. the coalition of the faithful. people that believe that president obama will provide the decisive leadership. but also, a coalition of the hopeful. people who believe that president obama will bring people together, as well. >> and, nicolle wallace, no second-guessing among the romney team. republicans looking at numbers like this, they have to be thinking, what are we going to do in the future? >> women aren't an interest group to be targeted. they're more than half the country. we're the deciders, if you will. if your message doesn't work with women, you can't win a national election. so, republicans have to do more than fine-tune the message to women. they have to look at the substance they were campaigning on. mitt romney made a bet that it was the economy, the economy, the economy. but it wasn't just due to being a competent manager of the economy. it was viewed as someone who understood

this is referring to the 2009 lilly ledbetter fair pay act and i know, diane, you spoke to governor romney about this. he said while he didn't support it at the time, if he were elected he would not repeal it. but that lack of support, i think, did influence a number of women out there. >> yes, and then ultimately he wouldn't tell me. he would not say whether he, indeed, would have signed it if it came to his desk. i don't believe he ever said he would have signed it if it came to his desk. so, cokie, on this issue of the single ladies out there and other women -- what do you think? >> i'm certainly seeing single ladies being overwhelmingly for president obama as they were four years ago and there's no real falloff there, but i was just looking to see if we had a number on that abortion question to see if that seems to be the indicator. the problem is people tend to say when you ask about, you know, what is the most important issue, they say the economy, of course. but so the issue then is if there's something in the ether of a candidate that makes it uncomfortable. >> 17 women currently s
